Microsoft's big promise with Windows 10 is its ability to run apps across the entire platform. The framework for these universal apps hasn't been described in much detail, but a post on the Windows Blog gives a bit more insight under the hood. Redmond's calling these "mobile experiences," meaning apps you can use across a variety of different devices; the software is mobile, not the gizmo you're using it on. Cortana moving from smartphone to desktop and the Xbox One's Game DVR tool being available on your gaming PC are but a few examples. The idea is to offer a set of standards across the Windows 10 platform so everything remains familiar regardless of what piece of hardware you're accessing the application from. That means everything should have, in Microsoft's words, an adaptive user experience with natural inputs; calls for cloud-based services including Cortana integration and the action center and one design language across the board.

It was back in January that Microsoft showed off its long-awaited replacement forInternet Explorer, currently named "Project Spartan." The new browser is designed to be light, nimble and secure, with the company stressing how deeply Cortana, Microsoft's virtual assistant, is baked into the software. Now, thanks to WinBeta, we've gotten the first sense of how that'll work out in the real world. For instance, visit the homepage of a restaurant and the blue circle in the address bar will bounce to advise you that more information is available. In addition, you can highlight and right-click a word to define it, and typing in keywords in the address bar -- such as weather -- will bring up relevant information. The video is short, but you can expect plenty more like that when the previews of Windows 10 (with Spartan) arrive at the end of the month.

CyberPowerPC's original Steam Machine plans didn't amount to much (the company ultimately turned them into Windows boxes), but it's back again for another round. Its recently established Syber division has revealed that it will launch no less than sixSteamOS computers this fall. The system builder isn't saying much about its new living room gaming rigs at the moment, but it'll give Game Developers Conference guests a sneak peek at three systems: the Mini, Mercury and Switch.

It may not be one of its headline features, but an intriguing rumour concerning Microsoft’s DirectX 12 suggests that users will be able to use wildly different graphics cards in unison.

Currently both Nvidia and AMD allow owners to use two or more GPUs in tandem using their SLI and CrossFire technologies respectively. Such use is often beset by problems, however.Not only do games rely on specific driver support to make the most of SLI/CrossFire, but the nature of how resources are shared can often lead to a host of other complications – all of which effectively mean that in the vast majority of scenarios a single card is the better choice.However, Tom’s Hardware reports that a new Windows 10 API (presumed to be DirectX 12) will offer a brand new approach to asynchronous multi-GPU usage that more effectively pools all available graphics resources into a single computational pot.Doing this eliminates the use of alternate frame rendering (AFR) which sees multiple GPUs taking turns to render each frame. One result of this is that both cards have to have all available texture and geometry data available and ready in their frame buffers – so two 2GB cards, for instance, still only have access to 2GB of data rather than, as is often presumed, the combined 4GB.DirectX 12, it is claimed, will instead use a method called split frame rendering. This allows developers to divide data between cards as they choose, using all of the available resources to their fullest, leaving each card to assume particular duties independent of the other.While SFR is not new in and of itself, the idea that users would be able to simultaneously run graphics cards from different manufacturers with entirely different architectures is unheard of.

It's been over a year since Valve announced its Linux-based SteamOS, the biggest push yet from a huge company to bring mainstream gaming to Linux. In this article, Ars Technica takes a look at how their efforts are panning out. Game developers say making Linux ports has gotten dramatically easier: "There are great games shipping for Linux from development teams with no Linux expertise. They hit the 'export to Linux' button in the Unity editor and shipped it and it worked out alright. We didn't get flying cars, but the future is turning out OK so far."

Hardware drivers are still a problem, getting in the way of potential performance gains due to Linux's overall smaller resource footprint than Windows. And while the platform is growing, it's doing so slowly. Major publishers are still hesitant to devote time to Linux, and Valve is taking their time building for it. Their Steam Machine hardware is still in development, and some of their key features are being adopted by other gaming giants, like Microsoft. Still, Valve is sticking with it, and that's huge. It gives developers faith that they can work on supporting Linux without fear that the industry will re-fragment before their game is done.

Steam has surpassed 125 million active users and is home to more than 4,500 games, Valve has announced.The figure is a dramatic rise from the 100m users announced in September 2014, meaning the digital store has been picking up some 5m users each month.Fresh figures from the Steam stats page also show the number hit a new peak record on Sunday, reaching 8.935,330 concurrent users.

Google's already making sure you don't download malware, and now it's expanding itsSafe Browsing initiative. In addition to preventative warnings prior to downloading,the Chrome browser will now throw a red flag (pictured after the break) before visiting a site that may encourage you to install any malicious software. Search listings are getting marks for sites that might contain nefarious programs as well, and Mountain View says that it's actively disabling Google Ads that "lead to sites with unwanted software." The search giant is urging site owners to install its Webmaster Tools to help keep on top of any possible issues with a site pushing bad software to visitors, and says this'll aid with the resolution process should that happen. Again, it's Google working to keep its "don't be evil" reputation in line and making the internet a safer place for everyone. After all, even the most web savvy among us have probablydownloaded malware before at some point.http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/24/c...owsing-update/

Intel isn't the only chip giant championing battery life over performance this year. AMD has revealed Carrizo, a processor range that's focused heavily on extending the running time of performance-oriented laptops. While there will be double-digit boosts to speed, there's no doubt that efficiency is the bigger deal here. The new core architecture (Excavator) is just 5 percent faster than its Kaveri ancestor, but it chews up 40 percent less energy at the same clock rate -- even the graphics cores use 20 percent less juice.

New screenshots of the Windows 10 Technical Preview build 10022 have been leaked online.Microsoft is set to release the build 10022 next month, and in the leaked screenshots there are some new design changes.According to Russian hackergroup Wzor, in File Explorer the number of frequent folders is limited to four.If users have also configured OneDrive as the default save location, the Documents and Pictures folders in Quick Access will point to the equivalent OneDrive version of those folders.Wzor is also reportedly working on a possibility to release the build.This news comes after Microsoft revealed Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 users within the first year.The new OS also has cross-platform capabilities and a brand new web browser.In other news, Microsoft is also offering discounts on its Surface Pro 3 in the UK. The firm is offering up to £250 off of the device.

The launch of Total War: Attila has propelled the title to number one on this week's Steam top ten sellers chart.H1Z1 and Grand Theft Auto V (pre-orders) continue to occupy spots near the top of the list – this week finishing in second and third, respectively.Chart regulars Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dying Light round out the top five, with indie Darkest Dungeon following up its runner-up finish last week in sixth.Here's the full list:

Evolve is on top of the latest top ten selling products on Steam, finishing ahead of indie Early Access title Darkest Dungeon.Evolve claims victory despite a rough run with Steam's user reviews, with a slew of negative posts centered around 2K and Turtle Rock's much maligned plans for the game's DLC.January chart toppers Dying Light, H1Z1 and Grand Theft Auto V (pre-orders) round out last week's top five respectively.Here's the full list:

Microsoft knows that you probably don't trust it completely with your sensitive info, especially if you live outside the US. What assurances will you get that you won't bespied on, or sold down the river? The company thinks it has an answer: it just became the first big service provider to adopt a new international standard for privacy in the cloud. The guideline requires that Microsoft give its business clients (and by extension, you) guarantees about what happens to online data. It'll only handle personal info according to instructions, makes it clear where that data is going, enforces strict limits on public use and promises that content won't be used for ads. Importantly, the measure also requires that Microsoft give a heads-up about government requests for data whenever the law allows.http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/17/m...vacy-standard/
